Mimi's Restaurant and Piano Bar 984 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10022

"A wonderful immersive multi sensory experience focused on Italian flavors and featuring live music. I’m not sure why there was a single empty table."

"Cool spot! First time in a piano bar. Went with a couple of friends who also loves to sing. Drinks and vibe were great! People at the bar are also music lovers. People singing along. The piano man, James Scheider, was awesome! Very cool experience!"

"Great food and very quick, loved it as needed some dinner with others and was good and affordable. My chicken had egg whites and little breading and was delicious with a side of pasta. Great appetisers with the bread and fresh mozzarella and tomato with the tiramisu being tasty as well. Overall 9/10"

"TL;DR: Really great vibes, but mediocre food. Came here with a group of 3 on a Saturday night - had a reservation so no issues getting a table. The restaurant and bar area are cozy and rustic, really making you feel at home. The live piano player was FANTASTIC, perfectly toeing the line of laid back & upbeat, but never overbearing. Piano was a little loud at our table, but we were fairly close. The food, however, was fairly average. I got the shrimp scampi and the shrimp was over cooked, but the sauce was tasty and the pasta itself was just fine. The other diners with me had similar feelings about their plates. Good portions though. I would definitely return, but probably for drinks and to enjoy the music than for dinner."

"Was recommended to try this place out by a local while I visited the city on a trip- what a great spot to try wonderful Italian while listening to classic piano ballads all evening long. This is the kind of place you see in the movies, the small Italian place on the street corner that the couple goes to on a date. The wait staff were all extremely friendly, and eager to assist you. The food was classic Italian and served hot and quick. I would absolutely come back next time I’m in the city. I would like to sit at the piano bar so I could talk to the singer like I saw several people do during my visit."
